MOLLY is the kindest sweetest person ever! She is always so helpful and will walk you to what your looking for. I love her Rite Aid brand suggestions too. This is my favorite night time store. I hope you let her know how wonderful she is! Thank you, read more

I mean, it's a Rite Aid. Have you been to one? If so this one is exactly the same inside. So, that's not what I rated them on. It is pretty well-established around this neighborhood that this Rite Aid is consistently understaffed. Legitimately don't think I have ever gone in and not had to wait in line. Christ, hire some more damn people. You can just see the frustration and anger on everyone's face when they're standing there in a line 12 people deep, and there is one cashier working. One more thing. As someone else pointed out, it is like a goddamn kennel in there half the time. Please start enforcing the no pets allowed policy. I understand that this is a neighborhood Rite Aid, but there is no reason to bring your dog into the store. Enforce the no dog policy, and hire some more people. read more

Rite Aid - The most typical sight: A line with 8+ people. The one difference being that there were 3 cashiers working. Usually just 1 maybe 2 - Drugstores Near Me - Long Beach, California

When they have 1 Cashier working,and she is ordering food from Grub Hub whilst serving you...You ask for bags twice,and although you know you paid for an item,becoz you saw it ring up,but wasn't in the bag when you got home...Not allowed to name the Employee...But this happened at 12.30pm,Oct 29th....Suggest a staff meeting read more

Getting prescriptions filled anywhere these days is always a pain, but I will wait in Sandra's line any time! This person is an absolute delight. She sanitizes the pens, counter and key pad after each person and personally makes sure each person has a good experience and feels valued and cared for. Last year my insurance company tried to charge me a $400 copay for a medication I normally pay $20 for. I needed it filled before I went out of town. I burst into tears in the line in front of everyone. Sandra immediately came around the counter and brought me into the consultation room, gave me a hug and talked to me until I calmed down enough to call my insurance company. It all eventually got sorted, and I will never forget Sandra's kindness that day. Give this woman a raise! Everyone I know who uses this pharmacy has a story about how awesome Sandra is. It's the little things that make the biggest difference and she gets that 100%! read more

There is usually only one cashier working in the evening. I get that people call in, and they're understaffed, but the ice cream line backs up. I was waiting and waiting, and the cashier only took the check-out line, didn't bother coming to the ice cream line. I finally walked out, because she wasnt even looking at me. read more

I am on courtesy refill drug prescription However when it's up for annual refill by the doctor no communication takes place to inform me I need to call my physician Had conversation with Gloria there who mentioned its a problem yesterday. I called doctor who advised me to have rite aid call and they would fax over prescription Called today at rite aid and said I'd need to call doctor. Gloria and staff did nothing from yesterday Fix your system for auto renewals to call patients and don't let them hang for a month read more

This review is for Sandra at the pharmacy, I have had 3 encounters with her and each time she has been extremely pleasant, she goes above and beyond to help you and you can tell she cares about everyone who walks in there. She is an extraordinary employee and an angel! read more

This review is for Mauricio the supervisor and their ridiculously dumb POS system. I was sold a defective product and wanted to exchange it and before I exchanged it I wanted to check to see if the same defect was in the new one and it was. I decided to exchange it for the more expensive item and buy 1 other product. I had put the receipt in the bag but on my scooter ride from my place to the rite aid it either flew out or it fell behind something when they open the bag but the point is I didn't have a receipt. I had bought the product like 30 mins ago and apparently they have no way of reprinting receipts or pulling up transactions from 30 mins ago. What kind of POS are they using when you can't see the transaction for the day? At every retail job I've ever had I've been able to look up transaction or reprint receipts but whatever. Now I'm getting frustrated and he's heard me say "my receipt was in the bag" at least 3 times by now and as a supervisor he says "well you should have brought the receipt" how would that help the situation in any way? Well you shouldn't have sold me a defective product! As a supervisor is it a good idea to tell the frustrated customer that? Would the customer who was sold a defective product and had to come back to exchange it for a more expense product be happy to be told "you should have brought your receipt" when he has said repeatedly that it was in the bag. Let's break this down. 1. I was sold a defective product and had to come back to exchange the product that I had bought 30 mins prior but was only going to get credit for half because I didn't have the receipt. 2. Mauricio the supervisor got puffy and belittled the customer during a frustrating situation. His poor coworker found a solution to the problem... just FYI a supervisors job is to deescalate situations and find solutions. 3. Their million dollar POS system does not have the ability to reprint receipts or look up transactions from 30 mins prior or the SUPERVISOR does not have the knowledge to reprint receipts or look up transactions both are not great representations of the company I will continue to shop their because normally it's a pleasant experience and I shop their all the time but I hope Mauricio's supervisor reads this and trains him on empathy, listening to the customer, deescalting situation and finding solutions. read more

The pharmacy is very hit or miss. I was a decades long employee of the Rite Aid in Naples and when they closed my prescription was sent here. I worked with a pharmacy tech named Carlos the past 2 days who could not have been more rude. I arrived at 5:55pm yesterday and was able to pick up one med but was rudely told that the pharmacy closed at 6pm and he actually started closing the rolling door while I was standing there. I came back the next day (midday) to see if my prescription was ready. I got Carlos again and he told me it was not ready yet and then told me to sit. I asked how long the wait would be and he turned his back on me and muttered. I called him out on it and told him that this was two days in a row where I have dealt with his rudeness. He lacked accountability and asked what I wanted. I responded, "Be Kind. " Carlos is not the type of employee Rite Aid should employ as he lacks courtesy and is rude. I will be taking my business elsewhere and advising my text threads to do the same. Customer kindness goes a long way and rudeness costs great business. read more

This rating is primarily for the pharmacy. Honestly, I haven't been feeling well and every time I walk in I just want to get my meds and leave but the two pharmacy's techs I've come into contact with I believe Carlos and maybe Sandra? They have really been so nice and welcoming as well as knowledgeable. It feels nice to have interactions with people who genuinely seem to care. Plus they make sure they sanitize down the register area for each cust and provide hand sanitizer. read more

Ms Pam is the sweetest soul ever she's so helpful and always has a smile on her face. We love you miss Pam

Store (24/7): Pro's: Clean store, bathrooms (close at 11pm) Pet friendly store (Right-on! Dog Park next door) Signage management: regular inventory, sale/ad inventory Never had a mis-marked item. 'price ck's' are a pain. Take ur 'readers' - some tags are just RA bragging on $saved over name brands. (Not actual item price) Employee's: Great employee's, fast, courteous, personable, ask regular about life details! Management: Same +, returned items w/out hassle, Club card: WAY worth the 60 seconds to fill out but remember ur PIN.. one time I had $13 built up & could use on anything.. DID! Loved it! Personal Favs: Chocolate: Specials always on chocolate! Fast items: Milk, etc front cooler, Ice Cream Counter (never had one but love the Nostalgia!) Cons: with new dog park, poop bags, & other dog products should be 'FEATURED' up front. Maybe even give it 4' Shelf Space! Wow! For Dog Poop Bags, treats, balls, + other items read more

Is this Rite Aide Pharmacy or the Fucking Disneyland? The Pharmacy is a Fucking Joke ... Pharmacy Manager Lana and 5 other Employees Joking and Laughing loudly while the line is a mile long while 1 other bewildered employee doing the best she can.. Meanwhile in the background i can hear Lana talking about with they will be doing together for the weekend. That is so unprofessional and this not the first time i witnessed this kind of behavior. One person working while Lana is joking around with other Employees , this has happened on several occasions.. Joe..D read more

I am so angry at this pharmacy. I was prescribed medications by my allergist to be sent to this pharmacy, and I received the medication. I had a huge suspicion to not take one of the medications and thought that I should research it. I found out that this medication had nothing to do with allergies, but it was to treat high blood pressure, which I do not have. I contacted the pharmacy manager, and he informed me that this medication was an accident made by one of the technicians who failed to look at the right name, even though my name was somewhat spelled like someone else. This is honestly something that should have never happened, I literally could have had major illness and even died. Beware of this pharmacy. Honestly, I don't think I ever want to go back to this place. This is complete malpractice. read more

This review is for Lana, Pharmacist. This employee is rude to customers, almost hostile. I dropped off a prescription for 3 meds on my way to work, not needing them til later in the day. Lana was rude from the start and after me asking 2 simple questions her response "if you stop talking and take a seat, I will call the doctor" ?? Excuse me, but wtf did she just say to me for no reason??? There was no need to call the doctor(she was incorrect & didn't call the dr) and no need for her to order me to "stop taking and take a seat" I didn't expect the medicine to be ready in a timely manner, but I did expect to be able to drop it off without being spoken to in such a manner. I complained to the manager about her rude, insulting attitude. The rest of the employees at the store are great, hard working, and friendly-5 stars :) When I went to pick up the meds later on in the day, the rep was nice, no issues or problems. I have a strong feeling that Lana IS a big problem as I see her mentioned on other neg reviews & by other feedback I received. She is a mean person and not a good cust service rep. for Rite Aid. read more

This review is for the pharmacy. I use this location because it is walking distance from my home. I have used the pharmacy about 8-times now and have yet to have a good experience here. I don't know why, but most of the pharmacy workers I have encountered have been short, and come across abrasive, like they arent very interested in helping you and dont like their job very much. They act rude when you ask a question and act like you should know how the pharmacy is run. Not a fan of the lame service, will stick with CVS. read more

I go to this store all the time i love right next door, and i always have slow service but tonight really was the worst of you hate your jobs then quit. read more

I usually have a great experience shopping here except for when I am rung up by a employee named Eva this is the 3rd time now she always has an attitude and extremely unprofessional I witnessed her harass another employee of color and it made me so uncomfortable I questioned whether I would continue being a customer at this location if this is not a location that is kind to p.o.c. Management needs to address her behavior before she seriously offends someone again. read more

Front of the store has always been great on the few occasions when I paid for something there...this score is for the pharmacy. I see that going back to 2018 people are writing terrible reviews for the pharmacy and the problems are exactly the same as today. I can NEVER pick up a prescription within even ten minutes...it's always 20-30 minutes. I've even been just third in line and it still took that long. Often, only one staffer is at the window no matter how long the line is. Twice the one staffer was dealing with a problem with a customer such as insurance and no one came up to help those of us waiting simply waiting for pick up. One day a manager (?) had to come back to the pharmacy and tell a customer that he had been at the window for thirty minutes and would have to leave the store. I'm assuming he was a problem in some way, but THIRTY MINUTES before he was kicked out...and still no one came to the second window to help waiting customers. My doctor called in asthma medicine for me yesterday. I deliberately waited 24 hours before attempting to pick it up along with other Rx's. A friend picked them up for me because standing in line is hard for me especially because I'd run out of meds. Friend came home with a bag...no asthma meds. I called the pharmacy, I was on hold for ten minutes due to previous customer, pharmacist said yes, my MD had called in the meds but they hadn't filled the order yet. She could fill it now if I wanted to come back. Hmmm...how much do I need help with breathing? Enough to drive there myself and wait in one of your interminable lines, or to call my friend to go back and wait in one of your interminable lines? Rite Aid had sent me texts saying my prescription was ready and since there were multiple texts I assumed they were ready. Nope. Text doesn't identify which Rx. Why do we have to write to another website to complain? Can't the owner hire and fire people? The pharmacist apparently has to ask every customer if he/she needs to talk to him which causes him to have to stop what he's doing every time a customer is being rung up. Can the window staffer just ask and then get the pharmacist if someone needs information? Worst managed store ever. It's farther for me but I guess I need to go back to CVS. They call an employee to the pharmacy if the line gets too long. Need the pharmacist? A short line for that, usually no one before you. read more

If I could give 0 starts I would. I have been going to this pharmacy for 3 years now and I don't know why I continue giving them my service. This isn't the first time they have inconvenienced me. Today was just the cherry on top when I was told I would be getting a call back about my prescription to be picked up because they didn't have it ready or my insurance saved and never gave me a call back. Didn't inform me they closed early either so now I have to go a day without my very important medication. Super unprofessional, don't tell a customer you are going to call and then just not do it KNOWING I NEEDED IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Not to mention it was my second time going into the store today. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I have just had a procedure done and needed a prescription ASAP. I was promised by Carlos late last night that he would get this done first thing today in the Am since he wanted to go home and close the store. I agreed. To my regret he did nothing to follow up and they were unable to even put the prescription through! Now it's a fight and a hassle to even get them to transfer it to my Walgreens I normally go to. They have been "ok lunch" for over 2 hours and won't answer their phone. This is taking hours. Carlos is a lazy worker do not go here for your prescriptions!!!! You will be gravely disappointed. read more

I came to visit my family in lbc. It has gotten super busy since the last time I really walked around this area. I forgot to bring milk for my son and decided to walk because there's no way I can find parking again. The min. I walked into this Rite Aid I got greeted by the security guard. This was new. We are in lbc and a worker just greeted me. I usually put my head down and just go straight to the products I need but I was shocked. I looked up and couldn't believe almost every employee looked calm and enjoyed being there. Did Rite Aid fired upper management? Walking towards the milk area, I was dreaming they would have organic whole milk and there it was. I couldn't believe it was in a Rite Aid. I got to the register line and it was longest line I had ever been in Rite Aid. But in 5 mins., I was at the register. They have a crazy system that got people moving faster then any place I seen. It was very efficient. While I was in line, I heard a lady greeting the gentleman behind me. She was super peppy and had a positive vibe. She was the manager! That's why she had a great crew because they reflect her. My clerk was super quick and even had a chance to wish me a good day. Amazing team!! read more

Rite Aid - OMG THEY HAVE ORGANIC WHOLE MILK!! Great info for parents. - Drugstores Near Me - Long Beach, California

The pharmacy staff are great and I've never had a problem with any of the employees either. The wellness program has its perks too. Selections are good and lots of buy one get one free specials is always a plus, especially on skin care products. This is my in a pinch store and, unless I really need something that cannot be found in the super market I do not venture here. Reason: Long lines at the registers yet, this is a staple for Rite Aid and soon to be a notable observation of endearment...NOT!!! The constant pan handling, people out side asking for donations is such a day kill; in this economy, why don't you folks give me some money..it's Rite Aid, I kissed a Percocet and I liked it! I like this one as opposed to the one in Belmont Shore (which BTW does not sell ETOH)-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kAJOSCyTB0 read more

I've been patronizing Rite Aid for years and it's time to give back some love. To begin, I appreciate that it's located within a historic building and across the street from Bixby Park. It's warm and bright inside especially since the renovation. Helpful staff and the pharmacists are knowledgeable and nice. This store is very conveniently located too, as I've had to walk here a few mornings to get coffee; and they even sell organic milk. Though part of a chain, it still has that independently-owned feel. Did I just say that? Doesn't matter. I love my neighborhood Rite Aid. read more

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I *heart* the gay ghetto, and Rite Aid is one of the reasons we'll miss this neighborhood. I agree with Sheri S. on this one; where would I have been without them the 5 years we were near here? Yummy ice cream, nice staff, and a small selection of a giant array of products. From office supplies to vitamins, and just about everything in between-ya can't go wrong here, folks. Sure, there's usually someone outside asking for money for their charity or even just for themselves. Homeless peeps frequently hit me up in the parking lot, but whatever. It's no different than anywhere else in LB.. I know it can be annoying always having people beg at you but it's just another day in the life here; I pick my battles more carefully and choose to overlook the bad because there is SO much more good to concentrate on. Like how on the way to work I got a runner in my hose, THANKGAWD Rite Aid is on my way. One quick stop and $5 later and I was back in business. If there's a longish line, I usually try to pay at the pharmacy or even in the ice cream line. Shhhhh it's a secret but yeah, they can and will check you out there even if you're not picking up Rx or getting ice cream. Just ask :) read more

Aw hellz no. I would NEVER think to ever use their restroom! But anywayz, this review aint about that. It's about their delicious and cheap ICE CREAM! Every time I've gone here to get mah scoop of rocky road, I've had to wait a bit, but the service is super friendly that it ends up canceling out. Did I mention how fucking great their rocky road ice cream is? Especially when you get down to the cone? YUMMERZ. read more

This is my neighborhood pharmacy in more ways than one. Sure, it's right around the corner from my building so we can easily walk there, but it's also one of the friendliest places I've ever shopped. We're there often for prescriptions and many other of the thousands of items they have available -- cosmetics, first aid and OTC medications, wrapping paper, etc. Even grocery items we need in a hurry. The staff is friendly and helpful. I'm glad we live so close, but I would drive to to this Rite-Aid if we didn't. read more

they suck! we went for pride and my phone died and I had just called Uber they wouldn't ensure my safety that me and my girlfriend got home safely after I just purchased alcohol and snacks! the security guy was having a power trip so hopefully you do not run into Dylan because he couldn't have been any ruder! Thank goodness for the beach garden and the security guard was super sweet and made sure we made it back to the hotel safely ....and he let me use an outlet to plug my charger in so that my phone would turn on again! Thanks to them we finally did make it back to our hotel! read more

I like Rite Aid but I have to file a complaint against Eva I came in today at 11:15 you had a sign on the door saying that the floors were going to be waxed at 11:30 but yet the store was closed and Eva would not let me in even after that I pointed out that the sign said that the store will be closed at 11:30 today and she was very rude to me and told me oh well go somewhere else you were already here so we closed the store even though the sign stated that there were going to be closing at 11:30 mind you that I am a regular customer and Eva has a history of being very rude to customers she shouldn't be working in customer service at all read more

Though it's no fault of their own, a mysterious phenomenon occurs whenever I enter this Rite Aid - no one will be in line when I walk in, I'll do my shopping, then when I get to the front to pay - the line extends back toward the alcohol aisle! And this happens EVERY TIME! But Rite Aid staffers are quick, quick, quick to man those registers. Friendly staff, excellent customer service, clean store, products galore, what more can I ask for? read more

Sometimes I wonder where I would be without this RiteAid. I would be without ICE, I would be without an occasional ICE CREAM, and I would be without the most convenient place to get a bottle of vanilla vodka. IT'S NOT A PRETTY PICTURE PEOPLE! Moving on...yikes, that wasn't fun. This RiteAid is lucky enough to be right across the street from our apartment, they are graced with our patronage once a week, if not more. Over the year that we have lived here we have purchased a wide variety of items...wind chimes for the living room, spices, the toilet paper roll thing that holds the toilet paper in the wall, we have purchased needs, we have purchased wants and they have ALWAYS been there when we needed them. Their staff is super friendly. There is frequently a very long line at the check out and they do their very best to move it along with a smile. I can live without the petitioners and people asking for money hanging outside the front door, but it's a small price to pay for such convenience. As long as I live in this neighborhood, RiteAid and I are going to be very good friends :) read more

Rite Aid - Drugstores Near Me - Long Beach, California

The pros: -Free Parking -Close to home -Yummy Ice Cream and cheap too... -Sometimes (by sometimes I mean most of the time, the people in the photo area don't know what they are doing... so they charge you less.) The Cons: -There's always someone outside askin for something.... -Lines are long so don't go there if you are in an absolute hurry... -Dirty bathroom -The ice cream is good and cheap, BUT go their willing to wait that is the catch... its cheap but they take a looooong time.... -oh the bathroom, steer clear, i think if you go in the parking lot it might be cleaner.... I think that about sums it up folks read more

What's the first thing you would do if you find your car's been towed from a store's parking lot and the tow company, which the store *contracts* to use, won't tell you where they're located? Well, you ask the store management to provide the address on their vendor's behalf, Right? That's what I did! Except that I (a paying customer) looked like the woman from Psycho hitting the Rite-Aid glass doors that had just been closed & locked to get one of the 3 Rite-Aid reps' attention. Their janitor smiled at me and partially cupped one ear as if to motion he couldn't hear me, when I know damn well he could. It's late at night, I'm in a city I'm not familiar with, in a business dress, bawling (I didn't know what else to do), and their staff refuses to open the door just so that I can get the address to where the tow company that *they* have contracted is located. I could have had a friend dying in the parking lot, and they wouldn't have known because they wouldn't even come to check and see what the dilemma was. I've never been so disappointed in humans in my life! It was so selfish and uncaring, and it only made me more emotional. As for the store itself, it is older and like every other Rite-Aid, everything is overpriced. Bought $15 batteries and thought I'd be calling a night. Nope. Rite-Aid Management: I would consider using a new towing vendor. We called A & A Towing and the woman hung up on me 3 times when all I needed was an address to get the car!! I had to stay in Long Beach overnight... a foreign city to me! And your employees couldn't be decent and open the door to ask what I needed. I wasn't banging for ice cream, trust me! I love your mint n chip but not enough to cause a scene! read more

Good beer deals...yey. If you ever go to this Rite Aid make sure to pick up some razor blades so you can satisfy the urge to kill yourself when you get to check out. read more

Short version: This Rite Aid is open all the time, the employees know where things are and can direct you to them, the pharmacy will listen to you and help you out if you need it, and in general this place is pretty pleasant. Long version: So this Rite Aid is in a very busy, dense, urban area of Long Beach. Often times, lines can pile up. Often times, it's understaffed or people might be on break or things like that, so there's not really much that can be done. Tonight was one of those nights. There was only one checker tonight at the front. Her name is Pamela. She sees the line piling up, and instead of sighing and getting annoyed and bothered about things; instead of passive aggressively calling other employees who just left to take a break before the line piled up, she was proactive and did something about it. Pamela opened up two registers and started ringing people up two at a time, by herself. She did it all quickly, efficiently, with a smile on her face, and while talking to customers while they checked out. She held up multiple conversations at once, and was checking out multiple customers, and she did it without skipping a beat. She asked for ID for everyone when ID was needed, she popped the child-safe lids off of liquor for customers, and she did all of this double-time on two registers. Pamela went above and beyond. There's no way Rite Aid pays her enough to care that much. She did that because it was the right thing to do, and because she realized that it sucks to be waiting in line while there aren't many checkers to help you out. Pamela deserves a raise, some kudos from her boss, and employee of the month. Thanks Pamela. read more

Busy all the time. 2 cashiers with a line of 10. Never enough cashiers. Why are there no self-check out lanes? Why is there not a security guard? This Rite-Aid is on the last of my list when I need something quickly. I rarely shop here because I know I will be standing in line for a long time. read more

Their pharmacy is a billion times more competent than my doctor. -thank you! their prices are decent. Average for a drug store. They offer parking (with permit) after their store is closed to neighborhood people. THEY ARE SO AWESOME!!!!! They exhibit a deep sense of community. I appreciate this business so much. Special Kudos to their manager, Sonny. Treat him nice if you see him, please! read more

My friend and I waited to get some Rx's, got some batteries, and post cards. Took about 1/2 hour. During that time our car was towed from THEIR PARKING LOT. NEVER go there EVER if you value your car. We got our car back within 1/2 hour after taking a cab across town but it cost over 300.00 to get it out. We showed them the receipt from the store, and they didn't care. NEVER shop here if you have a car. -SVJ read more

Beware of their racsist employee. Imagine being in the store at 2 AM, there's one other customer in there besides you, and of course, she's white. The white female employee decides to overhead page security to do a security check, then that same employee comes to the aisle I was just in, YELLING to security across the store about all the items that have been recently stolen from that aisle. Sweetheart, you're clearly stressed and have hate in your heart, but you're the one who has to work night shift at Rite aid, not I. You need to learn how to stop judging people based off their looks. read more
